Rolling Bearings Size Series Code
Rolling bearings are an important part of the working of nearly every piece of machinery, from tiny fan motors to large industrial motors. Because of the nearly universal need for rolling bearings, a number of different size codes are used to identify different types of bearings. This article will discuss the size codes used for rolling bearings and their purpose.
There are several sizing codes used for rolling bearings. The most common code is the ABEC–the American Bearing Manufacturers Association Code. ABEC codes use numbers to identify the different sizes, and it is often used in the electronics industry. The higher the number of the code, the more precise the bearing. ABEC codes range from 1, which is the most basic, to 9, which is the most precise.
The American National Standard size code is another widely used code. This code is used by machine tool manufacturers to identify sizes and types of bearings. This code starts at 0 and goes up to 9. The higher the number, the larger and more precise the bearing.
In Europe, the DIN 6262 size code is typically used. Like the two codes mentioned above, it is a numerical scale, but it is based on metric measurements rather than inches and the like. This code range from 12 to 53.
Finally, there is the ISO/CODEX size code, which is primarily used for standard metric bearings in Europe. This code also starts at 0 and goes up to 9. The higher the number, the larger and more precise the bearing.
In addition to the codes listed above, there are several industry-specific size codes, such as the JIS (Japan industrial standard) size code, the IKO (International kinematics organization) size code and many more. However, the codes listed above are the most common and widely used size codes around the world.
No matter which size code you are using, it is important to remember that the higher the number, the more precise the bearing, and it is important to use the proper bearing size in order to ensure that your machinery operates properly. While choosing the right size can be difficult without the right information, having the right size code can be a great help.
